Verbuggen, a wealthy banker has been receiving letters that hint at the kidnapping of his only grandchild. The mystery unfolds in old Western Church during the child's baptism. Vebruggen has arranged for DeKik to be one of the spectators. After the ceremony, a woman's fainting sets off an almost gothic chain of events for DeKik to sort through.
